Monday's Sound Off

Itís funny whenever Obama does something wrong and there are many times, the liberals say, Ďwell, Bush did it.í But didnít you vote for Obama to have change? Where is that change?

The Christmas season is here and of course everyone would know that. Go by Stanís Service Station, 62 Ridge Road in Kimberton. He put the lights out, what a beautiful display. He didnít do it last year; he doubled up on it this year. Congratulations Stan, you did a beautiful display again. You make people happy. They love going by your place at night. Keep up the good work. God bless.

I see where a 10-year-old student in Pennsylvania has been suspended from school for making an imaginary arrow shooting gesture. He is also being threatened with expulsion. If any misguided school official attempted to try that in this area, he or she would be run out of the community.

I went to the doctor last week for a rash on my stomach. As she looked at my belly she commented that I had gained some weight. I said true, but what is the rash and what can be done about it? She said itís not a rash, itís steering wheel burn; lose some weight or move the seat back while driving. Maybe I need a second opinion.

JIM FITCH

Bruce Haines should be fired as Montgomery County register of wills. He violated a state law. What would he do next?

I hear that WPAZ is back on the air as of Nov. 1. If this is true, how come there were no Thanksgiving football games on the radio?

For the officials in Upper Pottsgrove, our commissioners, itís nice that they run for an office that they knew what it paid and then they raise their salary from $1,875 a year to $2,500. Thatís a pretty nice raise. Thatís a little bit more than the 1.5 percent like the Social Security people are getting.

I canít believe that Josh Shapiro and the rest of the commissioners in Montgomery County want to sell Parkhouse, the finest facility in the area and theyíre going to turn it into a for-profit corporation which will just turn that place into another rat hole. Shapiro, Castor and Richards have got to go.

Raising the minimum wage always has a devastating effect on the least skilled and educated. They are the first to be fired and the last to be hired. It also insures that companies become more invested in job killing automation. If people were truly concerned about wages and unemployment, they would see to it that wage depressing and job stealing illegal aliens were removed from the country.

To the borough employee who said they did not agree to the contract because it wasnít fair, you should be thankful you have a job, a job you donít do very much at and are paid very well for. Stop being so greedy and hurting the taxpayers who live in Pottstown because you probably donít even live in Pottstown.

A POTTSTOWN RESIDENT

I just want to mention how nice Pottsgrove Manor has been fixed up, the home of the founder of Pottstown. As I was growing up this was known as Mill Park Hotel and a lot of homeless people used to live there. What a change around. Thank you very much.

State funding for special education has been level for the past six years. Cost for mandated special education has increased over $500 million from 2008 to 2012. Why has the state stopped paying its share of the special education cost?

Iím calling about the abandoned gas station at Suburbia Shopping Center. Itís been an eyesore for a lot of years and why isnít North Coventry doing something about it? I donít care that itís for sale. Iím just tired of looking at it. Itís an embarrassment. North Coventry spent a lot of money fighting a good neighbor, Wawa. They should do what needs to be done to get rid of the eyesore.

EMBARRASSED

Two days after it snowed, itís time for people to scrape the ice off the top of their vehicle. From what I heard on the news, itís now a law that you need to clear your vehicle of all snow and such on your roof. So why donít the police get out there and start pulling these people over.

This is to the person who got the Pottsgrove Achiever and is wondering if itís a dove instead of a falcon now. I was on the student council and it was my suggestion to name the team The Falcons. I also suggested the maroon and white colors. Yes it is still maroon and white and itís still a falcon. I know, itís not a dove.

To the caller who justified the lies of Obama to that of George Bushís, I declare, two wrongs donít make a right.
